Styling for Spring Guide: Your Day Look

Here's the first out of six of our highly anticipated "Styling for Spring Guide". All of the clothes, from head to toe, were pulled from various retailers in the LA Fashion District. We want to show you that, with a little creativity, the LA Fashion District offers trendy and affordable clothing and a unique shopping experience.

With this "Day Look", breezy dresses and strappy sandals should be your Spring wardrobe staple! We found the dress at Madera, a women's fashion boutique in the Santee Alley and the sandals at Forever Shoes. The prices are also great; you can pull a complete outfit together for less than $80!

One tip that stylist Bettina gave was that when putting together your outfit, start with the shoe. For example, Bettina likes to wear neutral colors for her day outfits, like in black or brown, which then helps her decide what style and color dress/top she will wear. 


Get the look:

Try this Trend: Neon Brights

Besides the fact that throwing on some neon seems to give you an insta-tan glow. I love how it feels so fresh and summery when paired with neutrals. Some of my favorite looks are florescent pants with a light colored top, a brightly hued blazer over a little white dress & hot pink lipstick.

These are some of my favorite neon inspiration images for wearing fluorescent brights(think less South Beach tourist tee & more J. Crew neutral with a splash of neon!)
